New Project For You

I spent last week stocking up on great deals on meat (a staple at our house, sorry vegetarians...I bought vegetables too). Saturday I spent packaging and preparing a fridge and freezer full of food. Seriously, you'll see the pictures below.

While I was packaging ground beef, roasting turkey, soaking beans and culturing yogurt I thought of a fun little project for all of us. (Yes, that means me, Karen and you, the four readers that we have)

One of the blogs I enjoy reading features a look inside someone's pantry each Saturday. And, since we've purchased our shelving for our new pantry and I can actually see the end of the pantry-less tunnel, we're going to do something similar. Now, since I don't yet have my pantry (unless you count the shelves pushed against the wall in my dining room...I don't) we're doing fridges instead.

I took pictures of my fridge and freezer...UNEDITED...and made a complete inventory of what was in my fridge Saturday night at 10 p.m.

I want you to do the same and send it to me. C'mon, it'll be fun, plus you might find some random thing in the back left corner that you'd forgotten about. Right?

So, send all pictures and lists to me at the email listed on my profile. I can't wait to see what you keep in there!
